Thanks, Gamesindustry.biz.

Despite missing out on the top spot when it debuted last week, F1 2021 has been able to overtake The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to take the top of the podium on this week's UK boxed retail charts. The latest iteration in the long running series saw a sales reduction of 37%, but this wasn't as much of Skyward Sword HD, which was down by 74% compared to last week.

Elsewhere in the charts, indie JRPG Cris Tales was able to debut in 36th place with the bulk of its sales (54%) coming from the Nintendo Switch. Additionally, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart saw the biggest jump within the top ten this week and this was due to more PS5 consoles being shipped. The Insomniac developer game saw a boost of 288% and it was able to climb from 10th to third.
